Croydon stands out as the UK economic success story however, now home to over a thousand digital, creative, and technology companies alone.

Colin Jones, Partner at UHY Hacker Young, said:

Croydon’s regeneration is going from strength to strength and it is no longer a joke that it is beginning to rival Shoreditch in attracting technology companies. Croydon has reinvented itself over the last ten years and is attracting a wide range of businesses to the area and is quickly becoming a commuter hotspot.

Over the last two decades, significant resources have gone into Croydon’s regeneration including improving its transport connections with the rest of London and the UK. With such close proximity to Gatwick, Croydon is perfectly located for both international trade and European-based companies looking to open a UK base.

As London’s housing stock becomes more valuable, the capital has pushed outwards and its furthest districts have started to attract interest from young people priced out of Zone Two and families looking for value for money within commuting distance.
